dream fragment

Not a lucid dream, but I may as well post my dreams here from now on, just for documentation's sake. Of course, our recall is not that good at this point, and it's been at the very least 10-14 hours since waking from this dream, so it will not be as detailed as I would like.

The earliest I can remember from the dream is missing the bus in the morning, but managing to get onto the short bus which came slightly after the regular bus. Apparently I wasn't the only one, as there was a good amount of able-bodied people on the bus, along with the usual short-bus crowd. That's probably an asshole thing to say. Not wanting to stand at the front of the bus awkwardly as I looked for a seat, I just casually walked towards the back of the bus, trying to find an empty seat so I didn't have to sit with someone I didn't know. Thankfully, I knew someone, sitting right at the back of the bus. Someone from the drama club at my school. Of course, the oddly-shaped seat did not provide enough room for me to comfortably sit next to her. Oh well. Upon sitting down, the girl from the drama club leans over and puts her head on my shoulder, in a rather flirtatious manner. I'm cool with this, I guess I kind of have developed somewhat of a crush on her. It only lasts a moment, though, and the dream version of her sits back up, and we talk about literally nothing for the remainder of the bus ride. Not quite sure what happened after getting off the bus, all I remember is being back outside my house, after having missed the bus again, only this time having to walk to school. I'm assuming this dream took place the morning after that first dream on the short bus. After some time, though, I manage to get on a metro bus to quicken my morning commute. When I get to school, the exterior seems to be an almost "under construction," more concrete version of the mall by my house, in the location of the mall on the other side of town. The inside looks more like my school, only again, with more of an unpainted, concrete, under construction look. The closest I've ever gotten to becoming lucid is right now. I wonder if the entire school had gotten re-painted or something since yesterday, consider the absurdity of it, and then shrug it off as "it's always been like this. I think." Either that or I realized I was dreaming and got so excited I forgot about it. Anyways, we meet up with the drama club girl from before, along with two more drama club members in the hallway. We're talking about exams, and I guess there was an English exam on that day, as I remember saying "Yeah, I haven't read any of the books, I'm fucked." Can't remember much after that, so I guess that's where I'll end this post.

Strangely enough, neither Red nor Gerry appeared at all last night, which is odd, considering most dreams I remember since getting into the big parts of tulpæ have had them in some way or another.

Was having hard time waking up today, thus not much recall. I did had short low awareness lucid, but can't recall any details because i accidentally fallen asleep during recall.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was at some point somewhere at the streets near the school from my past. I recall searching for something and talking to someone.I also spontaneously became aware of dreaming at one point, but only for a short while and i didn't recalled anything from waking life.

Dream 2(fragment):

I was visiting dreamviews.

1) I was at the top corner of a cemetery in my birthtown near a primary school with maybe two other people. Just inside the green railings, there were 3 pairs of wellies: Size 11, and two other sizes. As I already had shoes on which were inappropriate for the mud we were going to walk through, the size 11s fit perfectly for me as I still wore my shoes inside.


2) I was outside my house in my birthtown. My youngest brother was there and at least two other people. Maybe one was my middle brother. My youngest brother gave me a bunch of £20 Orange top up cards which I happily accepted. We went into the house to put them on the dining table. It was a round table in the same spot we used to have the rectangular table. I’m not even on the Orange network.

This is a fragment from two nights ago.

I'm in space...or at least my perspective is in space, much like viewing a movie where the camera is in space.

Approaching me is a spaceship...sort of like the Discovery in the movie 2001. It's coming towards me and is about to encounter the Snowie Ophie, an anomalous object in space that looks...odd.

Imagine viewing a large mushroom from above...now slice off the top part of the cap and the mushroom just above the stalk, including the veins. What you have left is a brownish-gray mushroomy disc floating in space. That's the Snowie Ophie (as in OpheliaBlue).

I don't know why it was there but it was significant.

This...means...something. Wish I knew what.

had a mess of dreams that I don't want to remember last night.

I was in a weird building. I do not remember scenery clearly but it
looked like school. I was talking with my friend and man in our age.
Cause his request we were looking for suitcase. I do not remember what we were
doing but at last we've found this suitcase. After that all goes crazy.
I was lucky because that man had a partner who looked like mafia boss(he
was fat for example,his hair was gray etc. that's obvious I'm describing
like it looks like in films). That man(I've just known it) rang to him and
told him to kill me because I know too much. :P He answered "That's your job."
Meanwhile he was passing next to my room(doors were open). I hid somehow and
after he's gone I started run. I've rampaged on this man and started fight like
with boss almost every CoD series or another low schematic game.
I've killed him when he almost killed me :E just before that he covered my
legs and I couldn't escape(muscles in body get harder immediatly) from his
"grab" so I started to crawl to the cover. After few second(I was still
crawling) my friend got mad (I was talking about him in the first line).
He tooked that "man" pistol (yeah I didn't take it after fight that was
pretty stupid :]) and started shooting to everything. In a short delay he
marked me I couldn't escape because of that man... I got few bullets into
back and... I do not remember what happened next. I guess it was end of dream
or I do not know how to call that in english. It's like when you wake up but
are still in dream. Maybe "false awaken" ? x)
I hadn't dreams like that before. I remember I've always got a dreams about sex O_o or nightmares which made me "lucid" in a dream. ( I love when I've got an nightmare and I've become lucidity. That monster/people/plants/everythings' shocked expression. Like their running away. Like everything is going in a right way).

Dream recall from today's naps.

Nap #1(fragment):

Can't recall much, but there was something related to plants.

Nap #2:
Dream 1(fragment):

There was some kind of challenge where one should manage to go through a bunch of various traps on platforms over the spike pit. Judge, me, and some other dude were on the side of the pit. Dude was about to jump but the judge stopped him and said that he's disqualified, when he asked why, judge said that's because he was partly a dragon apparently, and that's not allowed. Dude was disappointed and left. I was the next to do it and i got some kind of list with rules and it was indeed saying that nothing dragon related was allowed. I was annoyed and i became lucid from that somehow, realizing that i am dreaming, i activate my wings and feel them, i want to look at them but my field of view gets all weird, i do an flip in the air towards the judge and then yell "So what now?", 'What you do now?". He stares at me like an NPC who is not programmed to do something in that situation. Shortly my field of view gets even weirder and dream fades out.
I wake up but the room is different, though before i can do anything i wake up for real.
I decide to try DEILDing from there but i drop into unconsciousness.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was playing some kind of game where i controlled some cartoonish character, there ere a number of levels coming along the huge zeppelin of come company, then later there was cartoonish child that had to be escorted through levels. Then finally there was a level on the Zeppelin itself, there was another child that was enemy and he tried to confuse me about which child is correct, he was successful and i attacked wrong one, it went berserk and was all red, and was attacking back like crazy, as result character that i was controlling fell from the Zeppelin, on the ground i eventually found the correct child and finished the mission. Dream skips.
I was near some house that was built in the center of graveyard, there were lots of policemen and i apparently didn't wanted to be caught or something. There was also one friendly policewoman, i explained something to her and she helped me to get through. On the graveyard, i started dropping tons of money all over the place, while saying something about donation( ). Everyone started collecting it and then dream ended.

Was lucid Saturday...something involving a theme park, and this stripper chick I dated once.

Today I had a few frags. I remember talking to my brother about bowling. We were having a conversation about bowling not being a sport until a person who is really good at it does it.

I am in an old apartment, the one we lived in when I was in high school. I dream that I have 3 pet hamsters. I only meant to buy 2, and the 3rd one is very small and snuck in with the others. They're very bitey and nip at my fingers whenever I try to handle them. 2 are typical "golden" hamsters, and one is a mottled tortoise shell color. I have placed them in a cage I purchased, but the cage seems to have come without doors, so they simply keep crawling out of the cage. I finally locate the door for the cage, but it's very dented and doesn't close properly. In addition to this, the cage has little "windows" (gaps in the bars) and they just squeeze out through there. I'm worried since I don't want a hamster population explosion in the apartment complex.

I wake up. I try to WILD but the kids next door are being super loud, which is obnoxious since it's about 7:00 in the morning.

I am in a Dwarven city. I am incorporeal, simply watching the dream. The city is a network of underground tunnels, many of them lined with thousands of polished gemstones that reflect the torch light. The gemstones become more numerous and precious in the tunnels that lead to the houses of the wealthier citizens. There are also a few Hobbits who live here. Many of the tunnels converge in caverns, which have shops and restaurants and markets.

I follow a character who's a hobbit. He's supposed to be an idiot. He's running around inside of the dwarf tunnels frantically looking for someone. There are areas of the complex that are specifically off-limits to him because he caused so much trouble... specifically the home of a very wealthy hobbit whom he caused a lot of grief. He's running around and being disruptive again.

Dream shifts - either it's a new dream or there's a huge break in the narrative. 2 men are trying to canoe across a freezing cold lake. For some reason, they're naked. The canoe tips and they end up falling into the lake, which is super cold. One of the guys tips the canoe back over and the water inside instantly freezes. He climbs into the canoe and starts digging the ice out of it with a shovel. The other guy is still treading water in the lake, complaining about the cold; the guy in the canoe tells him to wait and take deep breaths, he's trying to empty the canoe out.

Mikasan, here is approximately half of an answer to "what was the treasure" for you. This dream was definitely non-lucid, but it looks like the Dwarves still had my treasure map... haha. Apparently, the treasure was a cure for a rare disease:

Scene shift... 2 Dwarves are searching for something that seems very important to them. They have a map. One of them looks like Lokmin, from a prior lucid dream. What they're searching for is apparently a huge cliff above a lake... there was supposed to be an inscription on it, but the stones have eroded and fallen into the lake. They have to fish the stones out of the lake and try to piece them back into place. The portions of the inscription that they can make out alludes to some kind of cure for a disease... something about "the king was the single one I could cure". They need to know what the cure was, which the inscription is supposed to talk about, if they can find the pieces. While Lokmin is dangling from the cliff face, one of the pieces crumbles and falls on top of him (it would have weighed several hundred pounds) and he tumbles into the lake with the slab of stone.

I never went lucid or found out what the cure was. I hope poor Lokmin's alright!

Dream 1(fragment):

I recall helping someone with lucid dreaming, again.

Dream 2(fragment):

I was doing something on my PC then i was distracted by some important business. After i've done it there was some lego stuff and then there was a movie. At the end of the movie main hero with pistol was threatening to kill some corrupted politician dude unless that dude goes to live in the jungle.

Got to work on my dream recall.

I woke up in the middle of the night with the thought feeling: I did it! I was lucid!

But no matter how hard I tried I cannot remember any of it, which makes me think that I probably was not lucid because lucid dreams do not fade like that. Although how do I know that for sure? Perhaps there are tons of lucid dreams I have had, but do not remember?

What I suspect is that this was another non-lucid dream about dreaming. Perhaps I actually remember my dream quite well, perhaps I dreamed "I did it! I was lucid!" And that was the content of my dream?

Anyway for a split second there I was very happy.

Fragmented again, it seems.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was trying to get more people into lucid dreaming.

Dream 2(fragment):

I recall some outdoors area.

Dream 3(fragment):

I recall being in some kind of factory or technical building.

terrible recall tonight

1. i am working on a group project with unfamiliar people. we are in the auditorium of my elementary school. we are on laptops and we are running a program with a neon green and red on black colour scheme. there is some anxiety associated with this dream.

2. i am waiting for the bus in the snow with an unfamiliar girl. the atmosphere is very bleak.

3. i cannot remember anything about this dream except that i became lucid at one point! i simply realized that the circumstances of the situation were unrealistic and deduced that it was a dream. sadly my lucidity faded very quickly -- before i could do anything of interest.

4. false awakening. i am in bed in my room: very tired and disoriented. windows 7 error messages pop up and disappear constantly, obstructing my vision. i wonder if i am dreaming but decide that i am not. i am afraid that i am going insane.

This dream was on dreaming again. It took place in some sort of board room filled with official people. I was not there, just observing like a movie, not an actor. The officials could have been judges or moderators, or they could have been consciences of DV members, or different representations of the one God.:

The discussion seemed to be a decision making debate, where the consequences of the decision would matter / make an actual difference / change. The discussion's topic was whether dreams should be limited or unlimited. It appeared that a recent development meant that a prior decision needed to be re-examined, whether it needed to be changed.

Speaker was male, no clue who:
...
"But if we eliminate dreaming, what effective approach would we use instead?"
